Those looking for a fun yet challenging way to practise their typing skills will love Learn With Pokémon: Typing Adventure for Nintendo DS, coming to European stores on 21st September 2012 bundled with the Nintendo Wireless Keyboard. Research over 400 Pokémon – including Legendary Pokémon – in this unique, typing-based game.

As you take on the role of the latest member of the Elite Typists’ Club, your typing skills will gradually be tested to the limit as you attempt to accurately type the names of any Pokémon you come across on your journey to help Professor Quentin Werty and his assistant Paige Down with their research.

Learn With Pokémon: Typing Adventure comes with a special Nintendo Wireless Keyboard featuring the standard key layout, which has been made to work with this game but may also work with other Bluetooth-compatible products. The package also includes the Nintendo DS Compact Stand that can be used to position your Nintendo DS, Nintendo DSi, Nintendo DSi XL, Nintendo 3DS or Nintendo 3DS XL system as your hands use the keyboard.

I don’t see why they’re even bothering localizing this. Considering how old it is in Japan already (it only goes up to Sinnoh Pokemon), it seems like a waste of time. There also isn’t going to be much profit made here. Most parents have their kids learn how to type at home for free, they’re probably not going to buy a game that does something they can do for free.

People pay for so many things they could do for free…Besides with a game like this localisation probably wasn’t much work, and they’ve already made the game so they may as well spread the development cost over a larger market and maximise sales from it…
